Viac o knihe
The book explores the aftermath of the FDA's 1992 ban on silicone gel-filled breast implants, which was based on health concerns leading to extensive litigation and a massive class-action settlement. Despite subsequent scientific studies showing no significant link between the implants and disease, public perception and court decisions remained influenced by fear and misinformation. This discrepancy highlights broader issues regarding the relationship between science, law, and public understanding of evidence, emphasizing the risks of misconceptions in an increasingly technology-dependent society.
